Australian pop stars 5 Seconds Of Summer are heading into the studio with Motley Crue rocker Nikki Sixx for an unlikely new collaboration. The She Looks So Perfect hitmakers are currently working on the follow-up to their 2014 self-titled debut album and are preparing to sit down with Sixx to come up with new material.
The bassist shared the news with fans on Twitter.com on Sunday (29Mar15) after congratulating the boys on their Best Fan Army win at the iHeartRadio Music Awards, where bandmember Michael Clifford was photographed wearing a Motley Crue T-shirt.
Sixx wrote, "Congrats @5sos on your award Nice Crüe shirt too. See yah next week for some lyric writing."
The boys later reposted the message on their official Twitter account.
5 Seconds of Summer are also reuniting with longtime collaborators Joel and Benji Madden, from Good Charlotte, and producer John Feldman for their sophomore project.
Frontman Luke Hemmings recently said of the Madden twins, "They've had a big role in the album this time, even more so than the last album. It's been really fun. We really look up to them, their whole movement as a band. It's amazing they're on board with us. They're great dudes."

As the Marvel Cinematic Universe takes over the real universe, we decided to take a look at some aspects of the Marvel World you may not be familiar with. How many of these facts did you know?
1. When Robert Downey Jr. was in high school, he was once suspended for tearing a classmate's comic book to pieces and calling him a "nerd." The comic book? The Invincible Iron Man.

2. Famous loner Wolverine has actually been on more super teams than any other Marvel character.

3. It was revealed in the 1980s that Peter Parker, Spider-Man's secret identity, grew up at 20 Ingram Street in Forest Hills, Queens.
GIPHY
That address, in real life, has been owned by an actual Parker family since 1974.
4. Vin Diesel recorded all his "I am Groot" lines over 1,000 times in multiple languages in order for his voice to fit the role around the world.
GIPHY/reddit.com
He said "I am groot" in Russian, Spanish, Mandarin, Portuguese, German, and French, all while wearing stilts to get a feel for the character's height.
5. Iron Man's suit is made up of roughly 450 separate pieces.

6. Natalia Romanova, also known as Black Widow, is still a super hottie thanks to a variation of the super-soldier serum.
GIPHY/rooneymara.tumblr.com
She's actually 70 years old though. Da-yum.
7. Chris Evans turned down the role of Captain America three times before the producers eventually convinced him to accept it.
GIPHY
8. Mark Ruffalo had to leave to the premiere of The Avengers early because his four-year-old daughter was so terrified of her father's onscreen transformation into the Hulk. We don't blame her!
GIPHY
9. For Thor: The Dark World, there were over 30 Mjölnirs (Thor's hammer) created.

10. Michael Jackson tried to buy Marvel Comics in the early 90s. He was planning to produce and star in a Spider-Man movie that never happened. Wouldn't that be crazy?
GIPHY/ilove-games.tumblr.com
11. Deadpool originated as a spoof of DC Comic's Deathstroke. That's why Deadpool's real name, Wade Wilson, is so similar to Deathstroke's, Slade Wilson.
GIPHY/reddit.com
12. A body double was used for Chris Evans in Captain America: The First Avenger for the scenes where he's skinny.
GIPHY
Digital technology was utilized in order to erase Evans' body in order to create the allusion of a tiny, tiny version of the actor.
13. Red Skull, Captain America's nemesis, was created after Joe Simon noticed the cherry on his ice cream sundae resembled a skull. Such delicious beginnings for such an evil guy, no?
GIPHY/chickenslikethedickens.tumblr.com
14. The chemicals from the blue make-up used to transform Rebecca Romijn into Mystique caused her to yak blue vomit all over Hugh Jackman after taking a tequila shot.
GIPHY
The celebrations on the final day of the first film were a little tainted by it.
15. In 1987, Spider-Man married Mary Jane. To coincide with the nuptials, Marvel held a press event featuring live-action versions of the characters getting married at Shea Stadium.
GIPHY
16. Cyclops' eyes function as a portal to another dimension that generates the energy used for his optic blasts. He's also immune to his powers, which is why he doesn't blast his own eyelids off.
GIPHY
17. Marvel evaded a law raising taxes on toys based on humans by claiming the X-Men toys were mutants, not humans. Clever, clever!
GIPHY/xmengif.tumblr.com
18. In Captain America: The Winter Soldier, Falcon's flight gear has a Stark Industries logo on it.
rebloggy.com
19. The Punisher was originally created as an adversary for Spider-Man before getting his own standalone comic in 1986.

20. Believe it or not, the richest superhero is not the incredibly wealthy Tony Stark (Iron Man); it's actually Black Panther. He has 5 times Stark's fortune, $500 billion.
GIPHY/www.reactiongifs.com
21. When Stan Lee initially pitched Spider-Man, his publishers thought it would fail because nobody wants to see a teenage hero (and, obvi nobody likes spiders).
GIPHY/gwenstasey.tumblr.com
The first issue quickly became one of Marvel's highest-selling comics.
22. Captain America is one of the few people able to use Iron Man's armor, Thor's hammer, and only one of two foreigners entrusted with the Black Panther's technology. No wonder everyone loves Captain America so much!
GIPHY/mrchristianbale.tumblr.com
23. Wolverine can literally sense when someone's lying. He can also super easily identify shape-shifters.
GIPHY/fanpop.com
24. Captain America's shield can only be damaged on a molecular level because it's made of an adamantium/vibranium alloy.
GIPHY
25. For everyone heartbroken when Gwen Stacy died in The Amazing Spider-Man 2, prepare for more heartbreak.
GIPHY/gwenstasey.tumblr.com
There was debate over whether she met her end at the hands of the Green Goblin throwing her off the bridge or if it was Spider-Man's fault. It was eventually revealed that Spidey's web stopped her so suddenly that she was killed by a whiplash effect. :(
26. The Incredible Hulk was not originally the green giant we've come to know and love. He started out grey, but due to ink problems in printing, we have our green guy.
GIPHY/do-androidsdreamof-electricsheep.tumblr.com
27. Venom was originally written as a female character.
GIPHY
Writer David Michelle was forced by his editor to alter the character's gender because "readers wouldn't see the woman as a physical threat" to Spidey. Rude.
28. Robert Downey Jr. gave a seven-year-old boy born with a partially developed arm a prosthetic modeled after his character's super-powered gauntlets.
GIPHY/ronoroa18.tumblr.com
This, along with the incredibly generous and kind behavior of Chris Evans, Chris Pratt, Andrew Garfield, et al, help to make these Marvel actors real life superheroes. And for that, we love them.

Veteran actor Michael Douglas has written a candid newspaper column detailing his experiences with anti-Semitism on a family holiday.
The Wall Street star was on vacation in Italy with his wife Catherine Zeta-Jones and their kids last year (14), when his 14-year-old son Dylan came to him in tears after a man "hurled insults" at the youngster over his Jewish background. Douglas, whose actor father Kirk is Jewish, admits he was disgusted by the bust-up and has now vented his anger over the incident in an article written for the Los Angeles Times.
He writes, "Last summer our family went to Southern Europe on holiday. During our stay at a hotel, our son Dylan went to the swimming pool. A short time later he came running back to the room, upset. A man at the pool had started hurling insults at him... Suddenly I had an awful realisation of what might have caused the man's outrage: Dylan was wearing a (Jewish symbol) Star of David. "After calming him down, I went to the pool and asked the attendants to point out the man who had yelled at him. We talked. It was not a pleasant discussion. Afterward, I sat down with my son and said: "Dylan, you just had your first taste of anti-Semitism'..."
Douglas goes on to detail his own experience of anti-Semitism in high school and call on Europe's political leaders and Pope Francis, head of the Catholic Church, to do more to crack down on intolerant attitudes. He adds, "Speaking up is the responsibility of our political leaders... Speaking up is the responsibility of our religious leaders... It's also the responsibility of regular citizens to take action... That is our challenge in 2015, and all of us must take it up... My son is strong. He is fortunate to live in a country where anti-Semitism is rare. But now he too has learned of the dangers that he as a Jew must face. It's a lesson that I wish I didn't have to teach him, a lesson I hope he will never have to teach his children."

Pop singer Kylie Minogue is convinced her late ex-boyfriend Michael Hutchence watches over her while she is on tour. The Australian singer, who enjoyed a two-year romance with the INXS rocker and remained friends with him until his death in 1997, is adamant she senses his presence during each performance, especially when she sings a cover of the band's track Need You Tonight.
She tells News.com.au, "I feel like he's with me...I feel like he's my archangel, on this tour especially... Even what I'm wearing (on stage) is something I would have worn when I was dating Michael... There's a definite homage to him. Hand on heart, every night before that song I have a moment to myself where I say, 'This is for you' and it feels really good."
The Australian leg of the Kiss Me Once tour kicks off in Perth on Saturday (14Mar15).
Hutchence died in 1997, aged 37.

"I've been in L.A. and I wear flip flops everywhere and I'd had a couple of drinks before I packed and when I got off the plane (in New York) I looked and thought, 'Oh, this is embarrassing.'" Vikings actor Travis Fimmel explains his mismatched look after wearing two different Vans Slip-On shoes for an interview on U.S. morning show Live! With Kelly and Michael on Wednesday (18Feb15).

Chris Brown and his on/off girlfriend Karrueche Tran have come under fire from animal rights activists at People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA) for wearing fur coats to Michael Costello's runway show during New York Fashion Week on Tuesday (17Feb15). Tran shared a picture of the couple's outfits on Instagram.com, prompting PETA bosses to slam Brown and Tran's wardrobe choices.
In a statement issued to GossipCop.com, a PETA spokesperson writes, "There are few things more out of touch than draping yourself in the skins of animals who were beaten, electrocuted, and even skinned alive for their fur... Chris Brown's furs are just more of the same from him: ugly violence."

Sandra Bullock invited her celebrity friends including comediennes Chelsea Handler and Whitney Cummings, actors Anthony Mackie and Michael McDonald, and Matthew McConaughey's wife Camila Alves to celebrate the Mardi Gras festival in her adopted hometown of New Orleans on Monday night (16Feb15). The pals were photographed wearing masks and multiple bead necklaces. The Oscar winner became a part-time resident of the Louisiana city after adopting New Orleans-born son Louis, now five, there in 2010.

Actress Jennifer Carpenter is reportedly pregnant and engaged to wed The Avett Brothers musician Seth Avett. The former Dexter star turned heads in Los Angeles earlier this month (Feb15) when she was photographed sporting a growing belly and wearing what appeared to be an engagement band on her left ring finger.
Representatives for Carpenter and Avett have yet to respond to the speculation, which was first reported by Eonline.com.
The stars began dating in 2013. If the news is true, the child will be the couple's first.
Carpenter, 35, was previously married to her Dexter co-star Michael C. Hall, but the three-year union ended in divorce in 2011.

Actor Jeremy Renner has urged critics to lighten up after he was blasted online for making a crude comment about Jennifer Lopez's revealing dress at the Golden Globes on Sunday (11Jan15).
The Avengers star was presenting an award with the lovely Latina at the Hollywood ceremony when Lopez, wearing a dress with a plunging neckline, volunteered to open the envelope to unveil the winner, stating, "I have the nails." Renner couldn't help but glance at her exposed chest as he came up with a response, quipping, "You've got the globes, too." The singer/actress laughed off the cheeky remark onstage, but viewers at home weren't so forgiving and lambasted Renner online for his bad behavior, with some even accusing him of sexually harassing Lopez.
The backlash prompted newly-single Renner to take to his Twitter.com page on Monday (12Jan15) to hit back at his detractors, insisting they shouldn't take the off-the-cuff comment so seriously.
Responding to the criticism, the unapologetic actor shared a photo of the pair onstage at the awards show and wrote, "A reminder not to take this s**t so serious. Thanks Jennifer -- You're a gem.x #goldenglobes #hadtosayit #jlo (sic)".
Renner's estranged wife, Canadian model Sonni Pacheco, filed for divorce in December (14) after just 10 months of marriage. The former couple has a young daughter, Ava Berlin.

Last night was the 72nd Annual Golden Globe Awards, with some big winners on stage, but right now we want to focus on the big winners (and losers) on the red carpet. We're breaking down our favorite looks of the night, and we also have to critique the looks we just could not come to love.

We were big fans of these newlyweds last night. Amal's chic DIor gown, complete with white gloves, really knocked our socks off.
The Worst Looks
Lupita Nyong'o

In 2014 Lupita proved she was a style icon. This Giambattista Valli haute couture gown does not make it seem like 2015 will be like last year.
Greer Grammer

Last night she was Miss Golden Globe...but that dress doesn't deserve any awards.
Jemima Kirke

What's even going on here?
Kiera Knightley
Getty Images/Kevork Djansezian/NBC
We once thought Kiera could do no wrong, suddenly we're not so sure of that.
Tina Fey
Getty Images/Kevork Djansezian/NBC
Tina's first dress of the night happily didn't make it onto the stage with her. We're still trying to figure out what on earth she bothered with this?
Kerry Washington

Olivia Pope would not be caught dead wearing this outfit, we think Kerry should take that as a hint.
Zosia Mamet
Getty Images/Kevork Djansezian/NBC
We're loving Zosia's hair, but this dress is nothing for the Girls star to gloat about.
Claire Danes
Getty Images/Kevork Djansezian/NBC
The earrings...the dress...why. Just why.
